TOMORROW'S CONTEST WILL BE BEST OF THE SEASON Bigbee and Patterson Will Be On the Mound for Local Aggregation. The fast Mt. Angel ball team, with an enviable record, will come to Al bany tomorrow and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon will cross bats with the Albany Athletics at the local park. Their ability is well known by the baseball fans of this city and the hardest game of the season is prom ised, a game even better than the two games that were played here Thurs day when the Athletics won both con tests with the Knights of Columbus team of Portland. Xow, to witness a better game than those of Thursday sounds unreason able, but the fans all predict the hard est fought game of the season tomor row and indications today are that a record Sunday crowd will attend the game. Mt. Angel is considered to be one of the strongest amateur organiza tions in the state. Schaubach will heave the pill for Mt. Angel with White on the receiving end and the Albany battery will be Bigbce-Patter-son and Patterson. Following is the lineup of the teams: Albany. Mt. Angel. L. Bigbee-W. Patterson p Schanbach D.

SO.IEiT Leading in the social events of the week was the wedding which oc curred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. O. D. Austin when thy hitler's sister, Miss Oda E. Jones, and Mr. David Jennings Ballantyne, were united in marriage by Rev." Henry H. Marsden of the St. Peter's Episcopal church. Just before the ceremony Mrs. Nut ting sang "Like Unto a btar." ac companied by Mrs. S. C. Worrell, who also played the wedding march from Lohenbrin. Marciel Austin and Violet Nutting came first -stretching white ribbon from the door to the altar, then the little flower girl, .Margaret Ballantyne, all in white, carrying a basket of pink rose petals, which she scattered on the way. 1 he bride yMered on the arm of her brother-in-law, Mr. O. D. Austin, by whom she was given away, and was met at the altar by the groom and his best man, Laret Smith. The brides maid, Miss Ima Currin, looked charming in pink messalinc and ear ned a huge arm bouquet of pink roses. The bride's gown was of white . chiffon embroidered with French knots and trimmed with fringe, over white messalinc. She carried a bouquet of bride's roses and maiden-hair fern. The ceremony took place under a canopy of solid green and white, quantities of ferns and sea foam being used in the clever schomc which made such a pretty background fo rthc bridal party. Just as they were pronounced man and wife the stirring strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march were heard and con gratulations were offered by all of the 60 guests present. The reception hall was gracefully decorated with sprays of scented runners and here the guests were served with punch. The color scheme in the dining room was pink, the lovely table was a bower of beauty, a lovely bowl of pink roses gracing the center while the pink shaded candles lent a soft glow, over the shining' silver and cut glass. Mrs. Callahan of Portland and Mrs. Bal lantyne poured the coffee while a de licious luncheon was served by Mar ian Page, Alzina and Mary Parker. Out of town guests were: Mr. and Mrs. Chas. E. Olin and baby of Sa lem, Mrs. Callahan of Portland, Mrs. Clifford Herald and Miss Delia Her ald of Portland, Lucilc Longbottom of Salem, Pearl Hershberger ( of Washington.

A most refreshing lunch eon was served by the hostess. , A jolly crowd of young people en joyed a dancing party at Buzzard's Hall on Wednesday evening. Mrs. O. D. Austin, living on Fifth street west, was hostess at three tables of "500" on Wednesday after noon, Mrs. J. B. Leatherman winning high score. The affair which was giv en in honor of Mrs. Callahan of Portland, who has been the house guest at the Austin home for several days, proved to be a most delightful afternoon to all those favored. Dain ty refreshments were served by the hostess at the close of the afternoon. D. B.

Mr. Nelson, manager of the Dream land, has made arrangements begin ning Sunday, July 7th, to run four absolutely first run reels of pictures never before exhibited in any theater before the Dreamland. This will be an enormous expense, but it is my opinion that Albany's picture patrons are entitled to better pictures than any of the larger cities. The best is none too good for Albany. J6 W. S.

OLD WELL NEAR FREIGHT DEPOT STOPS GRADING OPERATIONS FOR A TIME While excavating yesterday on the south side of the Oregon Electric de pot, workmen uncovered an old well which was twenty feet deep and six feet in diameter.

The well was walled up frqm top to bottom with brick which when investigated was found to be in perfect condition. The well which contained several feet of water was located directly in the center of the grade which is being constructed for storage tracks to the freight house and it was necessary to fill it up with dirt before operations of grading could be resumed.

Roosevelt is afflicted with a species of insanity. Principally Ego. An Austrian aviator recently went ' up 13,779 feet, with one passenger, i That's high, but after all a fall of a 1 hundred feet is just as fatal as one of nearly three miles. The girl who learns to cook well I by attending a domestic science ! course of demonstrations at Chautau-; qua, has gotten the worth of her j money several hundred times. At j least the fellow who marries chr lias, j A girl never looks prettier in the eye of a sensible man than when she is doing her duty washing dishes or doing some other necessary house hold duty. The Chautauqua pond needs some kerosene oil before the coming good weather hatches the mosquitos. Good order and no noise around the auditorium during any number, big or little, should be absolutely insisted on. People who come here see big things ahead for Albany. Albany now has forty registered trains a day. Other towns will do well to beat that before claiming to be the railroad center of the valley. THANKS. The Ladies of the G. A.
